Fable

Product Information

A dark maritime fantasy...immersive...and rich in sensory details. For readers who can’t get enough of strong female protagonists..." - Kirkus Rovnako ako mnohí z vás aj ja som si Fable pri zmienke o vydaní pridala do svojho wishlistu, vďaka téme mora, námorníkov a dobrodružstva! No po dočítaní nemám úplne ten správny pocit, či toto bolo to presne to, čo som očakávala. I could taste the salt in the air and feel the waves beneath the Marigold. In a brutal world Fable shines as tenacious yet vulnerable, unafraid to do what she must to survive. This story caught me by the throat and refused to let go!" - Shelby Mahurin, New York Times bestselling author of Serpent & Dove

Adrienne Young - Goodreads The World of the Narrows Series by Adrienne Young - Goodreads

Those may seem harsh lessons from a parent. But those are the things that have kept Fable alive for the last four years. She’s learned to make her way as a dredger: a diver who digs semi-valuable stones and abalone from the reef and exchanges them for a few coppers. And she’s learned to hide away what little treasure she may gain in the hope of someday putting this island of torment behind her. Saint is one of the most powerful traders in the Narrows. And as such, the sea was the only life that young Fable ever knew. But that all changed the day after her mother’s death. Saint promptly took Fable to a small island filled with thieves and cutthroats and abandoned her there. Adrienne loves all kinds of books, some of which include: “Harry Potter”, “Six of Crows”, “Little Women”, and “The Glass Castle”. But her father s rivalries and the dangers of his trading enterprise have only multiplied since she last saw him and Fable soon finds that West isn't who he seems. Together, they will have to survive more than the treacherous storms that haunt the Narrows if they're going to stay alive.

The brand-new thrilling novel from New York Times best-selling author of Sky in the Deep Adrienne Young, the first book in the fantastic Fable duology. There’s use of the word “b–tard,” but nothing else that might be considered typically “sailor worthy.” That was all he had to offer. And in the four hard years since, Fable has struggled to fulfill his words in a nasty world where every good thing you gain is stolen from you, and every precious morsel of food must be protected or hidden.

Someone with a bit of wisdom might have told Fable to forget her father. Forget his words and his offers. Forget everything of the past and find a way to survive now, a simple life to live. As the daughter of the most powerful trader in the Narrows, the sea is the only home seventeen-year-old Fable has ever known. It s been four years since the night she watched her mother drown during an unforgiving storm. The next day her father abandoned her on a legendary island filled with thieves and little food. To survive she must keep to herself, learn to trust no one and rely on the unique skills her mother taught her. The only thing that keeps her going is the goal of getting off the island, finding her father and demanding her rightful place beside him and his crew. To do so Fable enlists the help of a young trader named West to get her off the island and across the Narrows to her father. You weren’t made for this world,” 17-year-old Fable’s father told her. She never fully understood what he meant by that. She simply took it as a strange explanation for what he eventually did to her. And all that he’s forced her to endure over the last four years. Besides those last fateful words, Saint had also given Fable, however, five rules to live by: rules she had been reciting from the time she was big enough to climb into the masts with her mother. She has enjoyed writing since elementary school and had some awesome teachers that encouraged her at it. It was in the fourth grade that she stared at a book in the library and imagined that it was her name on it. It was not until she was about 24 years old that she tried doing something about that dream, which is one she never really let go of. Publication was not even something she dared to try until some years later; a time that she worked on many projects, and got rejected a lot before selling a book.

Fable, a seventeen-year-old castaway, has spent the last four years surviving on the island of Jeval. She has learned to fend for herself by dredging for gems and selling them at port. She hopes to buy her way off the island.

Myslím si, že celý príbeh by som si užila omnoho viac, ak by som bola mladšia, kvôli atmosfére a charakterom. Fable som si predstavovala kúsok inak, aj keď netvrdím, že sa mi niektoré pasáže nepáčili a nedocenila som ich. Avšak autorke musím vytknúť pomenej priamej reči a opisy, v ktorých čírou náhodou akurát pripomenula nejakú vlastnosť respektíve schopnosť hlavnej hrdinky, ktoré mohli byť pokojne spomenuté na začiatku. Taktiež na tento zoznam musím pridať aj vzťah medzi Fable a Westom, ktorý bol zvláštne unáhlený a nenadchol ma.Because you weren’t made for this world, Fable,” he repeated and stepped into a small skiff to sail away. “You make me a promise and I’ll give you one. Survive. Get yourself off this island And the next time I see you, I’ll give you what is yours.” Now, he’s mere days away from getting everything his father ever dreamed for him: a ship of his own, a crew, and a license that names him as one of the first Narrows-born traders. But when a young dredger from the Unnamed Sea with more than one secret crosses his path, Elias’ faith will be tested like never before. The greater the pull he feels toward her, the farther he drifts from the things he’s spent the last three years working for. The sail snapped overhead as the wind caught it, jerking the skiff forward, and I found a place to sit between two leather-skinned dredgers. She is shown here her own brother’s betrayal, and has to live out the winter while in the mountains with the rest of the Riki. That is if she would like to go return to the fjord once it thaws. She starts seeing things in the people she has always been taught she has to hate in herself. The world she use to know is starting to fall apart on her. The village is raided by a clan most believe is just myth, and Eelyn has to trust Fiske. Fiske is a friend of her brother’s that has tried multiple times to kill her. Working with one another, they have to end the blood feud that exists between both clans. Either that or continue to see their clans get killed.

Raised to be a warrior, seventeen-year-old Eelyn fights alongside her Aska clansmen in an ancient, rivalry against the Riki clan. Her life is brutal but simple: fight and survive. Until the day she sees the impossible on the battlefield―her brother, fighting with the enemy―the brother she watched die five years ago. She was born and raised in the state of Texas and became a California girl. She lives with her four kids and her husband (who makes documentary films, and together, they all take in the rays of the California sun). Welcome to a world made dangerous by the sea and by those who wish to profit from it. Where a young girl must find her place and her family while trying to survive in a world built for men.

It was named one of the most anticipated young adult books of the year 2018. She loves food, as well as history, has a shameless coffee addiction, and loves to travel. Adrienne finds that she is obsessed with the past, and that obsession has found its way into her work and influenced it. During the time she is not writing, she will be at antique fairs (to find old books), sipping wine during long dinners, on her yoga mat, or at art museums that she likes the most. She is someone that enjoys learning, as well, and will buy any book about art history she can find. She is enraptured by our connection with that which is around us and each other as well as the human spirit.Nice jump, Fable.” Koy took hold of the tiller, his gaze on the horizon as he steered us toward the south reef. “Didn’t know you were coming.” As an author, Young’s strength is in her ability to craft both strong female protagonists and worlds that are filled with realistic details." - Culturess Zola hears about the sails and sends men to burn the Marigold. It barely makes it away from the shores of Ceros unscathed. Fable runs into Zola in a tavern, and he tries to talk her into joining his crew.
